Ship-from warehouse determines intermediate consignee

Sometimes, the warehouse from which an item is issued determines the intermediate consignee location to which the item must shipped.

Example

Usually item A is shipped from supplier S to intermediate consignee X. If item A is issued from supplier S's warehouse W2, item A must be sent to intermediate consignee X1.

Setup

To set this up, in the Intermediate Consignees (tccom1161m000) session, specify an intermediate consignee, ship-to, and sold-to business partner to model the regular flow. Next, specify an intermediate consignee, ship-to, sold-to business partner, and a ship-from warehouse to define the intermediate consignee to whom the item must be shipped if the item is issued from the specified ship-from warehouse.

Process flow

If the ship-from warehouse is included in the BOD sent from the supplier, LN checks whether a matching ship-from warehouse is present for the sold-to or ship-to business partner in the Intermediate Consignees (tccom1161m000) session.

If yes, the intermediate consignee related to the ship-from warehouse in this session is passed on to these objects:

LN checks the Intermediate Consignees (tccom1161m000) session for a matching ship-from warehouse as follows:

  1. Check if the ship-from warehouse is present for the ship-to business partner.
  2. If yes, pass on the intermediate consignee that is linked to the ship-from warehouse to the sales schedule line, the outbound-order lines, and the loads.
  3. If no, check if an intermediate consignee is present for the ship-to business partner.
  4. If yes, pass on the intermediate consignee to the sales schedule line, the outbound-order lines, and the loads.
  5. If no, check if the ship-from warehouse is present for the sold-to business partner.
  6. If yes, pass on the intermediate consignee that is linked to the ship-from warehouse to the sales schedule line, the outbound-order lines, and the loads.
  7. If no, check if an intermediate consignee is present for the sold-to business partner.
  8. If yes, pass on the intermediate consignee to the sales schedule line, the outbound-order lines, and the loads.
